Kellie often accompanies acupuncture treatment with some of the following: cupping, moxibustion (a pleasant heat therapy common in Chinese medicine), essential oils,and flower essences and sometimes homeopathic remedies.

Kellie has her own clinic and treats one patient at a time.  This would be a good setting for a patient who is looking for a treatment that is very individualized in a small private practice without distractions.  Kellie tries to make relaxation and a feeling of general well being a benefit of all treatment.  The patient has a choice between silence or music of their choice during the acupuncture session.

Kellie has been practicing homeopathy since 1996  She graduated from the Luminos School of Homeopathy (Homeopathic Master Clincian). Homeopathy comes from Europe and was very prominent in our country at one time and has been making a significant renaissance in the past 10 years.  She treats children solely with homeopathy.  To learn more see: http://www.homeopathyvitality.com
